Students Participate in Marketing Competition

A team of four Pine-Richland High School World Language students competed in an international marketing competition sponsored by Bayer Corporation. Students Taylor Doaty, Wilm Kranz, Patrick Nowak and Melissa Sirera c delivered a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation to Bayer executives, in which they shared a market plan to sell Bayer products in a foreign country.

Students participated in this program under the direction of RHS French teacher Dawn Herbst and PRHS Spanish Teacher Kristin Szarell. While the students did not place, the sponsors hope this will be a program students will participate each year.

“This activity is a valuable experience for students,” Herbst said. “This program creates a liaison between businesses and school districts”.
